Country: | Thanks! I was trying to figure out what avatar to have next so i thought about America's most decorated soldier in WWII, Audie Murphy.
Also because the guys that do changing of the guard at Arlington are with the 3rd infantry.

Country: | I do not think that the Old Guard that guards the tomb of the unknown soldier is actually from 3rd Infantry Division. As far as I know they are 3rd Infantry Regiment. They even wear a different patch than 3rd ID. I may be wrong but that is not what I thought.

Country: | Right, 3d Infantry Regiment. They wear, I believe, the MDW shoulder patch on the left shoulder.

Country: | Where in Canada does he fly from? Do you know if he's ever performed with his glider at airshows? I've seen an ex-Luftwaffe pilot from WWII perform in a glider, and the name rings a bell. | |
